For this I thank you. I know this next year will be even better.
I wish you a wonderful time and a happy and prosperous New [...]

CAC War Kitty – Shape Shifter
.
This is the last bit of music I will post for this year. It’s the original composition ‘Shape Shifter’… an uptempo piece of experimental EDM with a trancey vib and some laidback energy. I really had fun with this. Yeah, I shape shifted changing everything it seemed more [...]

Christmas Beer Is Christmas Cheer
December 23rd, 2009 · No Comments
With a name like “Troegs Mad Elf Ale”… what’s not to like. Troegs is a small boutique brewery in central Pennsylvania that produces some fine brews and their holiday offering (October-December) is a complete winner.
From the Troegs Site:
The Mad Elf, a cheerful creation to warm your heart and enlighten your tongue. The combination of Cherries, [...]

The RCA Synthesizer circa 1955
December 21st, 2009 · No Comments
From 1955, this may well be the puppy that started it all and ushered in an era of electronic music.
Harry Olson and Herbert Belar designed and developed this monster at RCA’s David Sarnoff Research Center near Princeton, NJ.
This huge and unwieldy system was controlled by a punched paper roll, similar to a player piano roll. [...]

Big Massive Speakers
December 17th, 2009 · No Comments
Yikes… that’s a lot of big speakers. I saw this over at TopCultured and it made me think… ‘what on earth does that sound like’ along with ‘what on earth were they thinking’. The speakers in my office/studio are microscopic compared to these and I have yet to blast them at full, let alone near, [...]

This is a hoot. From Julian Smith and his band of merry mechanics: Techno Jeep.
Julian says:
The sounds in this video are ACTUAL sounds from the Jeep. Everyone began rehearsing their parts 2 weeks before we shot the video. It took us 7 hours of filming to get a solid take.
Rather impressive. Two thumbs up [...]

CAC War Kitty – Physical
.
Yup, that’s right. This is a ‘pure pop music’ alert… I’m covering the Olivia Newton-John song from the 80’s. I decided to do this one on a lark and because it would be fun. And I have had real fun with it… I’m still laughing at myself.
I’m not sure [...]

New 10 Shuffle
December 14th, 2009 · No Comments
I love to work and have my player punched in with the shuffle setting. You never know what you’re gonna get. Sometimes you scratch your head and say… ‘why did I save that’ or, ‘wow, I haven’t heard that in years… cool’.
I was designing this morning and here are my last ten plays:
Bootylicious – Destiny’s [...]
